Philosophy of Longevity.

There is much in modern life that tends
to shorten existence and to diminish the
probability that man or woman will
reach 90, to say nothing of hundred.
We lead more exciting and wearing lives.
1t is vain that a person has splendid con-
stitution to begin with, wears flannel, or
the equivalent of flannel, next to his skin
dwells in warm, dry house. and eats and
drinks everything that is good and whole
some, if at the same time he habitually
overtaXes his strength, looks upon his
muscles as mere machinery to be driven at
high pressure, and ruthlessly calls upon
his nerves to squander their reserve power
when every other source of energy is ex-
hauSted. Men or women who intend to be
centenarians in these days must combine
something of the old mode of life with
something of the new mode of living. They
must, while availing themselves of all the
scientific discoveries and sanitary appli-
ances of the age, initiate their grandsires in
the steady and tranquil habits that pre-
vailed before the invention of locomotives
and the telegraph. They must have their
eight hours of sleep regularly; they must
have intervals of repose and vacancy in the
daytime; they must spend goodly portion
of their waking hours in the open air.
Nor will that suffice; there will have to be
regularity in the hours of their meals, and
discipline in the ordering of the dishes of
which the meals are composed. We can
not believe that anybody will ever live to
100 who eats heavy dinner every night
of his life at O'clock Champagne in
abundance, and Bordeaux or Burgundy ad
ibit,an, should be forsworn by persons who
deliberately set before them the attaining
of the hundredth birthday. Neither, with
such an end in view, would the active life
of politician, a lawyer, or a doctor be a
sane enterprise. In order to reach that
distant goal there must be training, if
not severe, at least regular and unhinch-
ing. Most of all, there must prevail in
the existence of such a person a tranquil
serenity, and unrutfled calm. Neither
generous passions nor enthusiastic ideals
must be allowed a1mittance. The pulse
must never be driven up beyond certain
point, either by work, by anxiety, by fear,
or by hope. At the same time, mere stag
nation will, in all probability, never enable
person to live to 100 There is such
thing as rusting out as well as wearing
out. If a candle does not burn brightly
enough, it does not consume the wax with
rapidity, and goes out for want of adequate
combustion. 1t is so, no doubt, with the
human body and the human spirit.-Lon-
don Standard.

The wonderful efficacy of swihs Specific as
remedy and cure for rheumatism and all blood
disease, has never had more conspicuous
illustration than this case affords. The candid
unsolicited and emphatic testimony given by
the venerable gentleman must be accepted as
convincing and conclusive. The writer is a

he is indebted for t.. advice to which he owes
his final relief from years Of suffering, is Mr..

an old acquaintance, Mr.. King, now of the
Lawrence House, of this city. He had once
been great sufferer from rheumatism, and. as
l suppose, had been cured by visit to Hot
Springs. But when met him, he told me his
visit to the Hot Springs was in yain-he found
no relief. On his return from Hot Springs he
heard, for the first time, of the s. s. s as rem.
edy for rheumatism. He tried it and six bottles
made complete cure. Several years have
passed since, but he has had no return of the
disease.

DOES HEN SET OR SIT ON A NEST p
A man, or woman either, can set hen,
although they cannot sit her; neither can
they set on her, although the hen might
sit on them by the hour if they would
allow 1t. A man cannot set on wash
bench, but he could set the basin on it, and
neither the basin nor the grammarian
would object He could sit on the dogs
tail if the dog were willing, or he might
set his foot on it. But if he should set on
the aforesaid tail, or sit his foot there, the
grammarian as well as the dog would howl
And yet, strange as it may seem, the man
might set the tail aside and then sit down,
and not be assailed by the dog or the
grammarian.

Poor Maude, The torturing suspense
of that day! In the evening she ventured
to ask the landlady to inquire how Mr..
Browne was. No better" was the alarm
ing reply.
Maude passed a sleepless night. In the
morning she received a second note from
her dear Jack, even more despairing in its
tone than the former one. Fate is against
us" he wrote / feel as if | shall never
be able to call you mine"
In the middle of the afternoon she again
sent to inquire after her lover, and was
overpowered when she heard he was much
better, and was even thinking of getting
up, his recovery being fair to be as sudden
as his seizure.
That evening Major Henderson re-
turned. He had hardly knocked at the
door when Mr.. Browne emerged from the
opposite cottage.
"What news ?" asked the sympathetic
Mr.. Browne
"The worst possible" replied the Ma
jor, throwing himself into an easy chair
and covering his face with his hands
That poor girl yonder is beggar, and
have but hundred year left"
Maude looked from one to the other in
utter bewilderment, and then crossed over
to her uncle, trying to comfort him and
gain some explanation at the same time.
:" feel this is no scene for stranger to
witness" said Mr.. Browne. Sir, you have
my deepest sympathy, and | am sure that
the present moment | can show it in no
better way than by Withdrawing"
Maude followed her lover to the door.
She was much distressed on her uncle's ac-
count, but did not fully realize her own
less Of fortune.

THE POLICE COURT.
Judge Buckley Dispenses of a Lengthy
Gale ndar

! Calendar.
In the Police Court yesterday Henry
: Fisher was arIaigned for violating ordi-
nance No. 133, pertaining to the keeping OF
large quantities of explosives within the
city limits. Through his attorney, Grove
L. Johnson, he agreed to comply with the
ordinance, and his case was continued to
October Sd, TO give him en- opportunity to
do so.
Henry Meyers, charged with stealing a
gas fixture at the Pavilion during fair
week, pleaded not guilty and was dis
charged. 1t was proven that some un-
known person, for the sake of causing
defendants arrest, had secretly rlaced the
fixture in his tool chest
Henry Sodaniels, booked for assault 10
do great bodily harm. had his trial contin-
ued to October 10th.
Mrs. Addie Wheeler, charged with dis
turblng the peace, appeared for sentence.
Judge w. A. Henry, as her attorney, asked
the Court to take merciful view of the
situation as there had been i'll feeling be-
tween the husband and wife, and the lat
ter, IN tit of anger, had used unladylike
words to her husband. Judge Buckley re-
viewed the case, and said he would fine
the defendant SIS, which fine would be
withheld for time, to see if she could con-
duct herself properly adding that he would
cancel the fine altogether if she behaved
herself.
Harry Pockman was next arraigned on
two charges of grand larceny. Mr. Clark.
the prosecuting witness, took the stand
and testified as to how he was swindled.
de was cross-examined at length by the
defendants attorney. Other witnesses were
introduced for the prosecution, among
them Mrs Clark and |. T. Gibson When
the latter witness was introduced quite
lengthy discussion arose between Add. C.
Hlnkson(the defendants counsel and CITY
Attorney Hart. The latter claimed that
Gibson was introduced merely to show
that the swIndling by Pockman was not
accidental, as Gibson himself had also
been defrauded by defendant.
Mr.. Hinkson argued that Gibson was in
no way connected with the trial, and there
fore his testimony should be stricken out.
Judge Buckley overruled the objection,
and said that in many cases. such as the
Casey burglary, the testimony of persons
who had likewise been treated had been
allowed.
Mr.. Gibson then testified as to how he
had loaned Pockman S75, and had never
seen him afterwards.
Pockman was then placed on the stand
and testified as to how he became in debt
and had left town, as several of his credit
ors threatened to have him arrested.
After Pockman's testimony Judge Buck
ley continued the case till October Sd.
All Moore and All Chez, taken in for
violating Ordinance II, pertaining to block
aiding thesidewalks, forfeited their deposits.
All Jim refused to give his correct name
to the Assessor, but was not quite ready to
tell why, and the Court gave him a day to
think over it.
Robert Anderson, charged with battery
on woman, did not know whether he
was guilty or not, so Judge Buckley gave
him till October 1st to mediate.
Peter Kunz will be tried to-day for dis
turbing the peace.
